Talk for a while before going to bed, there is a world in your dreams. Good evening, listeners.
Wind in July, rain in August. For many students, the mood at this time of year is like a very cloudy and uncertain weather. There is the excitement of successful graduation, the joy of receiving offers, and the vision of breaking into a new world... But on the other side of the coin, there are also the parting of the song and the end, the dazedness of drawing the sword, and the regret of not waiting for the date. Today, let's talk about the graduation dinner and the "casual dinner".
It may be an ordinary restaurant at the entrance of the school, or it may be a carefully selected restaurant in the bustling business circle, but whether it is high-end or not, whether it is good or not, "no one can be less" is the most important. As soon as he sat down, the talkative boy gushed endlessly, the shy girl whispered, even if she sat next to the classmates who usually had little intersection, it seemed that she suddenly had a reason to chat, and the impulse to bless.

For many "people who come over", the taste of rice has long been unclear, but the "people turning over on horseback" on the dinner table are deeply imprinted into the negatives of memory. If everyone in the graduation ceremony is still conservatively "concave shape", then the vast majority of people on the casual meal are probably already "exposed" in the slightly drunk or even tincture. Crying with headaches, sobbing quietly, silently crying... No one can say why everyone is suddenly sentimental in this midsummer season; no one needs to be clear about why the emotions that break through the tear glands come from and where they go. The kung fu of a meal, everyone just wants to blur the years and squander time.
The moment of confusion is often also the time of waking up. "There are some words that can't really be said without relying on the strength of wine." It was on the occasion of the casual dinner that many of the outstanding questions had been answered. It turned out that the unsigned letter was written by him/her; it turned out that the protagonist of the date was her and not her; it turned out that the accidents that caused ripples in the heart were really just coincidences...
Not all of them are so sensitive and slender, and there are some people who are calm and objective surrounded by emotions. Bounded by the graduation dinner, on the one hand is the unbridled campus youth, and on the other hand is the unknown social life. Once inseparable, can it withstand the invasion of wind and rain and the polishing of the world? Some people are afraid, saying that they want to "keep in touch", and finally slowly cut off contact; some people are worried that after the close-hearted classmates step into the society, they will also wear a sleek and sophisticated mask. No matter what the future holds, the push on the casual meal interprets the truest friendship and the most simple beauty.

Qu finally disappeared, and several peaks on the river were green. Someone said, "Sometimes what you think is plain is actually a restrained affection." Even if it is full of heart, parting from sorrow must be the heaviest emotion among them. It is not so much that the group dinner is to say goodbye to classmates, but rather to say goodbye to the past self, and cherish the lost time. The intimate interaction between you and me, the black moment when you come and go, the pre-exam raid you chase after me, the bedroom talk that you know and I know... That period of campus youth is worth the warm rush of this moment and the repeated chewing of future time. It is the slightest attachment to youth and the friendship of our fellow window companions that allow us to give this meal an extraordinary sense of ceremony and give this gathering more and longer meaning.
Of course, wine can not be greedy, and deep affection cannot be willful. No matter how brilliant the curtain falls, there will always be a new sunrise; no matter how much you don't give up, you must also have some moderation. After all, many years later, the most precious thing is not the so-called temperament of not drinking fiercely and shouting loudly, but the simple feelings of not being able to stay and not going far. A graduation dinner is scattered, "scattered" is the person, "gathering" is precisely the heart.
This is exactly:
Gathering and dispersing sometimes, and doing and cherishing.

"Talk to the World about the Heart – Talk a Little Before Bedtime"
丨Introduction丨
Following "Talking with the Times about the Heart", the "Talk before Going to Bed" column of the People's Daily Commentary Department then pushed forward the series of readings "Talking to the Heart with the World". This book systematically sorts out the news hotspots of great significance in the past two years, divided into 10 parts: city, life, art and literature, campus, new knowledge, science and technology, psychology, food and drink, light and shadow, and fashion, giving readers a window to touch time and observe the world.
The richness of this world is far beyond our imagination. This book only contains Yoshimitsu Kataba in our grand era. But these cultural phenomena, social customs, and ideological concepts, like wind and water on the earth, unconsciously portray our times in a subtle way. We try to see where the water is going, hear the sound of the wind, to discover, accept, and push for change. We hope that the accumulation of moments will not flow, and the gifts of time will not be consumed, but will condense the power of submerging on the riverbed of time. We hope that we can observe and think together with readers, discover a broader era, and grow in the sun with society.
